OK well i think Tarrant is bigger stronger and has better disposal... so im not sure if Grima come straight in.
what would you think?
Hansen comes in yes, but Thomson can play on smalls so shift him over.... not all teams are as tall as Geelong but Firrito was on a 200cm player today...
I want to see Big Robbie clunking them in the back half... and be that big bodied backman that we require... so no keep him back!

Wright is doing alot of the intercepting work, when Hansen is back I think it will take a lot of pressure off the full back. Spud is still playing pretty well too.
Assuming form doesn't change much this season I am worried about Petrie, he isn't leading strongly so makes for a poor target for the midfield. Brown is still inexperienced and I can't remember the last time Waite played an entire season.
When Black and Tarrant were in form it really brought the best out of Petrie up forward because both are quite strong in terms of their leading, it drew the opposition defenders out of the forward 30m zone which allowed Drew to contest in that region when it wasn't congested. I don't think Brown and Waite are pulling defenders out of that region often enough, when we do go long there are too many players in that region.
We don't have a lot of options atm, just curious if Grima and Hansen were available and in good form, would we go with an inexperienced FB vs a much more experienced defender, would we drop him or would we use him up forward. I guess if he continues with his current form he has the opportunity to claim the FB spot as his own.
